Interesting.. it seems we've all encountered various problems with this
combination!

My problem is the following:

mx2# telnet 0 25
Trying 0.0.0.0...
Connected to 0.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mx2 ESMTP Exim 4.30 Tue, 30 Mar 2004 09:30:45 +1000
421 mx2 lost input connection
Connection closed by foreign host.

I've tried re-installing the exim-ldap2 port however I still have the
same problem.

This is with the following:

-- 5.2.1-RELEASE-p3
-- exim-ldap2-4.30_2

Intriguing.

ajt.
